RED HOOK (AP) -- State police say a 47-year-old woman has been charged with driving while intoxicated after she crashed her car through the front door of a Hudson Valley home, narrowly missing a woman who was watching television.

Troopers say the crash occurred late Saturday night in the Dutchess County town of Red Hook, 45 miles south of Albany. Police say Lynn Sarnowski of Elizaville in Columbia County drove her car into the house, where it came to rest in the living room.

Troopers say a man on the second floor was injured but the woman watching TV wasn't hurt. Information on the man's injuries weren't released.

Sarnowski was treated at St. Francis Hospital in Poughkeepsie. She was charged with DWI. It could immediately be determined if she had a lawyer.
